Triester Strasse, one can find a Tourist Information Office. Speed limits: on motorways 130 kph, on
highways 100 kph, in built-up areas 50 kph. The wearing of seat belts is obligatory. Traffic in the city
centre is dense, and parking is very difficult. There are ‘90-minute’-zones for limited-time parking.
Parking chits are available at so-called Trafiken (kiosks) or at petrol stations. It´s advisable to leave
the vehicle in an underground carpark or at your hotel and to use the excellent public transport
